The mini-STAR technique is a promising bailout strategy for the management of entrapped enflated balloons in the event of complications, achieving a high procedural success rate and low occurrence of procedural adverse events.

Often a favoured technique especially in the in the case of balloon shaft fracture, the use of a snare requires careful planning. Discover more here!

Herein we have presented a retrieval method involving a guide extension catheter together with balloon jailing of the fractured wire segment for retrieval.
